Snakes on a Plane

Saw it tonight.

Because they played it straight. It wouldn't work tongue in cheek. Okay, so it won't win any Oscars and I'm pretty certain snakes don't work like that (the snake vision may have appeared cool to you Mr. Director, but snakes have lousy eye sight). Actually I'm glad they got the snakes wrong, because otherwise I would have been very, very scared. I mean, I'm probably going to have nightmares, but not serious ones.

Also, how can I not love a film where the heroes are variously black, female or gay (and I don't care if he gets a girlfriend at the end, he's fantastically camp throughout, and therefore counts). Oh and the kickboxer. The nearest thing we get to a normal hero spends most of his time as a receptionist. I am amused (take that Hollywierd). Although he's very pretty.

I hereby admit to them causing 1 jump (rattlesnake into cockpit in front of Gwen (chief stewardess character) and at least 2 OMG! reactions, the end being one of them, and countless "I can't believe I'm seeing this" reactions.

I did love the snake expert.



Well, it amused me, but I'm easily amused.
